Good Evening Sir Agent! Thanks for upgrading the software for meâ€¦ I noticed there is an undo button in the latest version of the software, Forgive me sir, I did not make my self clear, the button undo is a great idea Sir, but I think just a simple Ctrl+Z for undo and Ctrl+Y for redo shortcut without the button will doâ€¦

I just thought of a new function that would greatly help us Sirâ€¦ Iâ€™ll edit this reply to post the new function and its purposeâ€¦ Iâ€™ll try if I can make a mockup for it Sirâ€¦

EDIT: I canâ€™t make a mockup Sir, balsamiq trial doesnâ€™t have the UI I was looking for but Iâ€™ll describe what I mean Sir, can you make collapsible options at the bottom of the software Sirâ€¦

Purpose: Just like what Iâ€™ve posted early this morning, we use the Line Truncator to extract the order numbers, Sir can you make a collapsible textbox at the bottom of the software that we may be able to add order numbers separated by commas to be automatically deleted when they appear on the results?

Example:In this example, I would exclude order number 1346795, 64482, 84101 and I chose a length of 7â€¦

I put a filter in the collapsible textbox at the bottom of the software and add the order numbers or characters I want to exclude

I just got home sirâ€¦ I hurried to get home just to see the update! I used and test the truncator at the office, my line lead saw it and liked it! She loves it! She even wants to give it to some other people at the office right away, I just told her itâ€™s under development, She asked me who made the software and I showed her the about button and told her a friendly programmer from other part of the world made this!

I just tested the latest version sir and it works great! but perhaps youâ€™re to tired that youâ€™ve made the color of the text box same as of the button instead of the whole windowâ€¦

I think a tooltip at the collapsible button would be a great help for other people who will use the softwareâ€¦ You may put on the tooltip something like â€śExcluded order numbers. please use a space separator.â€ť

When I used the software the whole shift at work, I did not press the Copy to clipboard and Submit not once, I learned that shortcuts are sufficient enough sirâ€¦ because itâ€™s much quicker than pressing the buttonsâ€¦ I think it will be much better without the Copy and Submit buttons Sir Agentstealâ€¦

The filter box with collapsible button is working perfectly sir! Butâ€¦ Iâ€™m having a hard time looking back what filters Iâ€™ve made because it just a horizontal text boxâ€¦ perhaps a 5 liner text wrapped enabled text box with a vertical scrollbar is much better sir for easy reviewing of filtered words or charactersâ€¦

BTW Sir, I canâ€™t undo using Ctrl+Z anymoreâ€¦

Sir, the test Iâ€™ve made last night with the truncator cuts my processing time by significant amountâ€¦ probably a 90% quicker than the former method of manually selecting order numbers and I havenâ€™t got any error at all! Many thanks to you sir!

Thatâ€™s all for now sir, I will try do a mockup or something that will help you visualize my UI thoughts while eating my breakfastâ€¦ Thanks again Sirâ€¦ Youâ€™re the best!

Thatâ€™s a BIG time saver I think Sirâ€¦ Hope it will be implemented in your future version of Truncatorâ€¦ Thanks a lot! Iâ€™ll check the forum later this evening before I go to workâ€¦ Many Thanks again Sir Agentsteal!

I would like to give something in return to Sir Paul but I canâ€™t, the company I work for has their own programmers outside the country but the software they have provided us is not sufficient for the work we doâ€¦ Itâ€™s hard to convince my company to pay Sir Paul to give something in return since they donâ€™t even bother upgrading the software we use dailyâ€¦ I just have my own initiative to ask someone who can help me do my taskâ€¦ Iâ€™m just a regular low wage employee Sirsâ€¦ As much as I would like to give some monetary donations in return, I just canâ€™t for financial reasonsâ€¦ I hope you understand Sirsâ€¦ I hope you and Sir Paul would understandâ€¦

The only thing I can do right now is to give credit to donationcoder.com and Sir Paul for making the software every time my co-workers ask me who made the software, thatâ€™s why I asked Sir Paul to put an About button at the top of the application that people may easily see itâ€¦

Thanks for everything Sir Paul, if I can give the favor back in anyway except for something monetary, just give me a message and I will gladly try my best to return the favor backâ€¦

Not a problem -- money is not the most important thing in the world -- and agentseal clearly was not motivated at all by a hope for money. Different people can show their appreciation in different ways, according to their means and their desires

Sir Agentsteal Iâ€™ve tested your latest release, It works great! I think the application is nearing its completionâ€¦ These are some ideas that I hope to be implemented on the hopefully the final releaseâ€¦

-On the exclusion text box, I hope the truncator can remember the excluded order numbers even when the file was closed or when the Less button is clickedâ€¦

-Tab Spaces should be removed before processing like ordinary spacesâ€¦

Example:

The current version turns this exampleâ€¦

Quote

123456789 with tab space. 123456789 with spaces.

Intoâ€¦

Quote

123456789123456789

that should beâ€¦

Quote

123456789123456789

-I hope, I can still undo changes after I accidentally process the textâ€¦-Remove Ctrl+A = Select All from the Shortcuts Button since the Ctrl+C can do it and to avoid confusion to others.

Thatâ€™s all I can think of as of now Sir Agentstealâ€¦ I hope the next version will be the final releaseâ€¦ Thank You Sirâ€¦

Wow! That was fast! Thank You so much Sir, I think this will be the Final release, Iâ€™m to going to post next week if everything works perfectly at work, we donâ€™t have any work for today because we are affected by US Thanks Giving Holidayâ€¦ Again, Thank You so much Sir Paul for helping me and other few individuals make life easier at work, and Happy Thanks Giving Day!

PS: I love the way you add the "Enter key" feature in the Exclusion text box that moves the words and adds a space, that was a clever idea Sir Paul! Thanks for adding it even though I did not request it.

One minor thing Sir, I can undo my changes even after I accidentally process the text, but I canâ€™t redo it using Ctrl+Y for easy flipping of undo and redo history and you can add it to the Shortcuts list sir, Ctrl+Y = Redoâ€¦ Thanks Sir Paul!

Iâ€™m sorry for a very late response Sir Paul, Iâ€™ve been very busy these past few daysâ€¦ The software is Perfect Sir! I think that is the Final version except for something you probably misunderstood because of, I admit a confusing explanation of mineâ€¦

Remove Ctrl+A = Select All from the Shortcuts Button since the Ctrl+C can do it and to avoid confusion to others.

What I meant was you may still Select All using Ctrl+A using the shortcuts button but just remove the explanation in the Shortcuts button since itâ€™s common for any user to be able to use Ctrl+A to anything that has a text in itâ€¦

Except for that one trivial lack of feature, I think it is an excellent application!

Honestly, Itâ€™s kind of strange not being able to use Ctrl+A for selecting all the textâ€¦ I hope you can do something about it Sirâ€¦

I just woke up to try the latest version Sir, itâ€™s around 3am nowâ€¦ Itâ€™s Perfect! The Line Truncator is finally complete! The application is very appealing and very useful Sir, Thanks for taking up the challenge and helping not only me but other few individuals who will greatly benefit from your softwareâ€¦ I Sincerely Thank You Sir for the effort, patience and willingness to help other people! Youâ€™re simply the Best!

You selected the text as a block, using the cursor and mouse keys, copied it, and the copy just excluded everything outside the block. It left embedded spaces intact, if they were included in the block.

I know the program Textpad will do columnar cut, copy & paste. I bet lots of others do too -- apologies for not having read every message in the topic in case somebody might've already suggested it, but I'm in a rush right now. Just wanted to hurry & post in case it helps anybody.

Textpad also has macros, so it'd be a breeze to have one dedicated to removing all the whitespace first. (It already comes with one on the macros menu to remove blank lines from an entire document.) You could probably automate the entire operation.
